A local shop owner asked why big kid wasn’t at school. When I told him it was closed because it was being used as a polling station we got talking about the elections.

He asked me who I voted for, and then he told me he thinks “it’s going to be another hung parliament”.

Unusually productive morning.

  • taught big kid how to convert fractions into decimals and percentages and vice versa
  • voted for Mayor of London, constituency London Assembly Member and London-wide member
  • bought some fruit and brown baps
  • collected big kid’s prescriptions and recycled his expired epipens
  • got six freshly baked garlic naans from my local naan shop
  • got some decent exercise

My local polling station was deserted when I went to vote around 11am.

Never listened to Buffalo Tom’s eponymous first album before.

Produced by one Joseph Donald Mascis (as was their second album Birdbrain, although there he was credited as the more familiar J. Mascis).

Yesterday morning I took my little kid to see his best friend Lorenzo.

Yesterday afternoon I took my big kid to see his best friend Lorenzo.

Both Lorenzos live at number 13 and (perhaps less surprisingly) have Italian mothers.

Our town is 95% BAME.

Nine year old said he wanted to grow some potatoes, so we planted chitted seed potatoes in bags tonight.

He said he didn’t know it was so much work!

I think I was taking Tramadol for pain relief when I wrote this:

Both sets of players would be awarded (honorary) knighthoods for their part in simulating Barnsley versus Grimsby Town at a freezing cold Oakwell on New Year’s Day in the late 1990s/early 2000s and no doubt the two managers would be encased in marble as a living testament to their obduracy.

4 year old was born four years ago today, funnily enough.

Zack, 35, says: “I got pretty disillusioned after I found myself consistently matching with anti-Zionists, even when I set it to ‘Jewish only’.”

Zack put an Israeli flag emoji on his profile to rectify the situation. “It’s annoying because the more creative personalities I normally go for tend to be more anti-Israel.” Now he’s having fewer awkward conversations about the conflict, but the people he’s matching with are “less interesting”.
